Better choice for mechanical Engineering Jobs

[Humble DUDE]

Hi , I've got acceptance from USC and U of M Twin Cities for MS in Mechanical Engineering. But before making any decision I want to ascertain what are my job prospects after graduating from these universities ? Looking forward to replies :) .

Hello, 

One important aspect to take into account is which one of these universities have a better relationship with the industry. Some universities receive "grants" from companies which are interested in a specific topic of research. I guess that kind of financial support is often called consortium, so if one of the universities work in a partnership with the industry, it will probably be easier to find a job after graduating (especially in one of the companies within the consortium). There are some universities/departments that are also "supported by" some companies, and they will have the sponsors' names on their website.

That's all I know, I hope it helps.
